Sunday again, don't they come around quickly. And what a fine day it is, to be sure. Or to be unsure if that's your preference!

Hope for me in shorts, none at all I'm afraid. It's a case of blindfold the horses.

The chart does look over bought Hil, may well fall to 70p support in the next few weeks.
After that we are back to the 50p support, I am watching my long position.
Holding short is best left to day traders, as they may come out with another deal?
The spread is also much better for your shorts now Hil.

8ball...Minxies getting to you. She's a beautiful, lovely, clever, knowledgeable, up to speed person and, if she would and I could then I would
BUT this old thicko thinks you're both wrong and that the huskies are still upto a bit more climbing northwards, we shall see...
Bad result yesterday for The Saints, they need a kick up the chuff and no doubt wee carrot-head will have obliged.
Thought United looked good again albeit tired, much too goo for 'Hoddles sick notes [head boy D.Anderton].
Good to see Alf Garnetts whingers get three points, I fear theirs is a lost cause altho' I hope not....
Lovely day here in Paradise, Socs would definately be in shorts, 30 degrees today;
the Cheese festival was terrific, hundreds of cheeses to taste and as much wine and champagne as you wanted...also had half a dozen delicious oysters, currently hoping that one at least may work [or at least keep me awake!!]..lol..
A prosperous week to you all but not to you, green haired Minx, if you're at your normal games with my beloved PRM......lw

Saint Willie,
In certain instances, flattery might get you everywhere. But not here and not now, so don't get too excited. Besides which, you're too old (I'm married to a toy-boy).
Love from green haired Minxie (looking forwards to a prosperous week).
:-)
edit: "Beloved PRM"??!!?? Shares are for buying and selling. Who mentioned love?

Hi Willie.
Just keeping an open mind an my eye on things.......
Still long and I never short.
The saints look to have eyes on the cup, with no Sol in the Arsenal team they look rather dodgy, you may have a chance.
I still remember a rather dodgy offside winner in 1976 for someone.
I think Leeds will upset Arsenal too, as they are in trouble again thanks to Mr Brooking men.
I hope he can keep them up.
Have another good day in Paradise willie.
You must miss something about the UK?

Hils...know what you mean and of course you're right. Extremely jealous of J,
lucky sod although prob. couldn't afford Mr.Choo's ? shoes and a couple of rugrats. Been there, done it, cost me heaps, on balance a good investment bur bugger it, never again!!!.
That old word that you questioned in edit gets in the way!!!
It's also an admitted problem of mine in share selecting, I know, I know!!
Just back from mornings golf comp. in the vets [age admittance 50], we came second [ a first for me] 2 bottles of sauvignon blanc was the games bet which we won/drunk and a presentation bottle from the main comp, all in all a good morning.
Our anniversary today, 19yrs of bliss, been together 24yrs.
I knew I'd married Miss.Right but no-one told me her Christian name was Always...!!!...Have a good day everyone...lw

Saint Willie,
Well done on the 19 years. Be sure to crack open a bottle or two of your finest local produce tonight as you enjoy a skinny dip with G in the pool at sunset.

Congrats on the aniversary, not to be sneezed at 24 years, well done. My youngest (19) is off on travels tomorrow. Packed in his job and going to Malia, Crete with a couple of mates to hopefully find some work for the summer. Financed by myself of course.

l.woman...Yes she does.
Hils......Yes we will
Jeffers...Yes, done that [the finance bit]. It's supposed to broaden their minds and perspectives [minds?] but will certainly cause a weight loss in your money belt. Have to make even more tea!....lw

Hello all. I'm basking in the light of a bid for Bulmers which has brightened my otherwise quiet life. What a delight.
Everyone seems in good spirits, does this mean the bear market has bottomed out and sentiment is turning northwards? Any tea in the pot?
Shame about GD, perhaps he's gone and got a proper job and no longer has time for running a cafe. Would have thought he'd still pop in occasionally though. I still think he may suddenly turn up in his demob suit!

How dare you, you cad sir. Have I ever mentioned the shiny seat on your trousers? Never. I have the best socks in Cheltenham, washed every year whether they need it or not. Ask Hightone, he's been to Cheltenham and the only bad pong is from the brewery.
So how are you, you old pen pusher you? I hope you weren't short of Bulmers.

I will toast a glass of cider to your success Socs, good to see long positions earning money.
I have had a good long on beatties, up 25% in 3 months.
Little Willie congratulations on 19 years, you and Jeff are very good parents.
Any chance of been adopted?

Your congrats are a little premature since I originally bought BULM at 359p. But I will be grateful to have recovered such a large slice of my original investment. I was after the good dividends that they used to pay but nothing in this world is certain except death and taxes!
I'm looking for another Bulmers, but this time the intent is to buy in at the bottom.

Socs,
I'm so, so pleased for you that you've got the bulk of your BULM money back.
The SN. offer is for cash of 310p per share. They're trading higher than that because of hope that either Interbrew or the Irish firm will up the ante and take it hostile. If things go quiet over the next few days, then I would expect the spread to open and the bid to drop to around 295p as sellers bank profits. In that case you can just sit tight and hold for the money from SN. I've got my fingers crossed for you that it goes hostile. I'd be a bit surprised if it does go hostile however .... it's at a decent premium to nav at the moment.

I am very interested in the offer, I've not read it fully yet. I believe there is also a paper offer which may be advantageous if the S&N trend is right. I think you are probably right and my best bet will be to sell very shortly and let the price drop away, then buy back in for another stab at it.
